Update 1/29/09

Wanted to give a quick update on everyone...

Mom is doing well. She is now on day 19 of her 30 days of radiation. She said that the skin on her back is peeling so she asked the radiologist about it and was told that some of the lasers go right through her so the skin on her back will peel. She wasn't expecting that, but she is ok with it... is just happy to be more than half way done. Her 56th birthday is next week. We are going to her house to celebrate her and Ty's bday on Saturday with the whole family and then on Sunday we are taking my parents out to dinner at Teppanyaki to celebrate the birthday girls again.

Ty will be 9 on Saturday. Its CRAZY to think she is that big. I look at pictures from when she was little and I remember it all so clearly. She may only be 9 but she is so mature for her age, I swear she is really 22. She is a little over 2 wks from her surgery. She's been asking alot of questions like "who is going to come see me?, will I sleep alot?, will it hurt?, what if I get sick before the surgery, can he still do it?". I am being very honest with her about everything and she knows I will be there the whole time. She just wishes it was done and overwith already. I agree!

I got my mammogram report back and it says things look good. I am almost a month into being on the Tamoxifen. I go back to my breast specialist in March for an exam and probably an U/S.

I think that's it... Bryan, Taylor, and Drew are good. Gonna have a busy birthday weekend with activites for Ty. Family life is good!
